In our recent ‘Perspective’ competition, Eileen Upton took first place in Grade B with the image above. This is how she made the image:
When the theme of “Perspective” was announced I immediately thought of my friend, Elizabeth Mansfield , an Artist, whom I photographed last year in Ballycotton when she was starting a painting. Elizabeth is a member of “en Plein Éire” and works in both oil and watercolour mediums. I told her of my idea for a photograph and asked if she would recreate the scene for me but this time with the finished painting. We met up at the original vantage point and with paint brush in hand she posed for me. In my photograph I tried to portray my perspective of the Painter’s perspective of the Island of Ballycotton.
